There is a need for credible and accurate science reporting because the miscommunication of science in the media is causing lasting damage to the public\u2019s understanding of science.<\/p>\n<p>Misinformation has consequences, as seen during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Ignoring public health advice to wear masks and physically distance has cost\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/trump-putin-and-bolsonaro-anti-science-leadership-worst-coronavirus-outbreaks-2020-5\">thousands of lives and livelihoods<\/a>\u00a0in countries such as the United States, Brazil and Russia. Yet, resources in science journalism are dwindling. Budget cuts have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com\/business\/2020\/04\/28\/postmedia-to-lay-off-80-permanently-close-15-newspapers-amid-covid-19-fallout.html\">slashed the number of journalists in conventional news outlets<\/a>; this often affects specialized reporters like science journalists.<\/p>\n<p>We need to equip scientists with science journalism skills. At Concordia University, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.concordia.ca\/artsci\/journalism\/programs\/journalism-studies.html\">Projected Futures<\/a>\u00a0science journalism summer school is training graduate science students on journalism in various media such print, TV and radio. In fall 2021, a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.concordia.ca\/sciencejournalism\">minor in science journalism<\/a>\u00a0will be an option for science undergrads. The Concordia School of Graduate Studies has also initiated a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.concordia.ca\/sgs\/public-scholars.html\">Public Scholars<\/a>\u00a0program, where a cohort of 10 Concordia doctoral candidates each year is trained to communicate their research to the public.<\/p>\n<p>This withdrawal of conventional news outlets from conducting science journalism and the increasing role of universities and scientists doing so introduce new challenges. Through Projected Futures, we conducted interviews and research to examine the future of science communication.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Academic publishing is flawed<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Because there are fewer science journalists in conventional news outlets, the public is less able to access the scientific information they need to make informed decisions. This is further exacerbated by the flaws of the existing academic publishing model.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, scientists communicate their research via private publishing groups. Due to paywalls, this research is very hard to access by the taxpayers who fund that research. Meanwhile, research funded by industry is freely accessible to the public via the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ic.gc.ca\/eic\/site\/cipointernet-internetopic.nsf\/eng\/h_wr03652.html\">publication of patents<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Open access is often discussed as a way to ease public access to scientific findings. However, some publishing groups\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/the-switch\/wp\/2013\/12\/19\/how-one-publisher-is-stopping-academics-from-sharing-their-research\/\">lobby against possible open access government regulation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But scientists are fighting back.

In June 2020, the libraries of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/news.mit.edu\/2020\/guided-by-open-access-principles-mit-ends-elsevier-negotiations-0611\">ended negotiations with the Elsevier publishing group<\/a>\u00a0as a result of a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/libraries.mit.edu\/scholarly\/publishing\/framework\/\">new policy making MIT\u2019s research publicly accessible<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Challenges of communicating science<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When it comes to communicating research, there is an inherent conflict of interest between scientists and the universities that employ them.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not to say that universities have sinister intentions. Universities are heavily invested in enhancing their reputations, which is closely tied to their success in raising funds through student recruitment, government grants and philanthropic endowments.<\/p>\n<p>Universities view science communication as a fundraising activity, directed at funding sources, rather than the general public. It\u2019s important that university communication engages in knowledge translation with the intention of informing public debate, instead of viewing scientific communication as a potential fundraising tool.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Futures of storytelling<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Universities should equip scientists with the knowledge-translation skills necessary to communicate their own science critically and credibly. And an emphasis on science journalism skills and training can help academic communicators apply a critical eye to their work. This builds credibility and engages the public audience, moving away from the cycle of hyped scientific findings.<br \/>\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ECic_pHHJIc\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Universities should also find a way to engage students in scientific communication. For example, there should be funding for internships for communications students, where those hired can manage Twitter accounts and blogs for research labs, update websites and write research publications in a more compelling, accessible and critical way. Such internships would be a way to apply what these students learn in their science journalism training without further burdening already\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeshighereducation.com\/news\/pro-bono-work-uk-university-staff-worth-ps32-billion-year\">overworked scientists<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The importance of credible science journalism goes well beyond addressing the immediate COVID-19 crisis. Credible science journalism remains critical to fight the anti-vaccine movement and the climate crisis with evidence-based urgent action.<\/p>\n<p>Universities and scientists must recognize the necessity of equipping the next generation with science journalism skills, and adapt their training and professional development accordingly.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios:<\/strong> Keroles Riad is a PhD Student in the individualized program at Concordia University, Cristina Sanza is a Digital Journalism Instructor, Concordia Science Journalism Project Team Manager also at Concordia University and Nancy Hamdy is a MSc candidate studying Physiology and Neuroscience at the University of Toronto<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIf we cannot talk about sex, then we cannot talk about good sex,\u201d proclaimed gynecologist Jennifer Gunter on a trailer for\u00a0Jensplaining, her show on female reproductive health.
